Apple Picking

Apple


My son loves Peanut Butter. Really there isn't much else in the food category that he does love. Maybe milk runs a close second. Now if you notice in the above photo had I not captured this shot to preserve it for all eternity I might have just missed that Buddy did not take a bite of the apple. Despite our best efforts to broaden his palate and him agreeing the little guy truly did a great job of letting us think that he ate a bite of the apple. In this case a highly prized HoneyCrisp apple. Who could turn that down? All was well, he bent down, apple in hand and plunged his mouth onto the apple. All looked like it should to me at least. Except of course that he missed his mouth.

Apple picking is a fall activity, despite my wife's best intentions to get me out into the orchard in September I held her off until October. Better yet for me and well not anybody else, it was also the first really cold day of the fall, the kinda day that prepares you for the Fall color that is upcoming. She wanted me to go in shorts in September. Pshaw. I want light snow flakes and a cold brisk day. That is apple weather. Hot Cider doesn't taste good at 70 degrees. At 35 though. That stuff is tasty.

Maybe your son would eat apple slices if he could dip them into peanut butter. Apples taste really good that way.
